DAMN YOU, MERCURY.
tells SELF. McLean, whose research focuses on how people interpret important events from their lives to maintain a coherent sense of identity, explains that human beings are naturally inclined to categorize and predict events so as to make the process of interpreting reality a bit quicker. While McLean’s work doesn’t involve astrology, she says that people often employ these types of beliefs to help make sense of what’s happening around them.
This can all be harmless if you’re just a bit on edge before and during the retrograde period . But if you’re having major Mercury-retrograde-related jitters, McLean suggests digging a little deeper. “Sometimes when we're searching to make sense of something…and we stop at the first thing that makes us feel comfortable, we're missing the opportunity to figure out what's really going on,” McLean says.
If you’re certain that Mercury retrograde has the potential to basically ruin your life, Kelly has some solid advice. For starters, take a deep breath. “Retrograde is by no means like doomsday or apocalyptic,” she explains. “I know the effects of Mercury retrograde can be annoying because nobody wants to get stuck in traffic, but they are not permanent. They're not going to screw up your life forever.”things that have gone right in your life during Mercury retrograde.
If it helps, try to prevent any possible snafus you might blame on Mercury retrograde by making sure that you’re moving slowly, trying to anticipate how you might misspeak or, and reading the fine print before you make major commitments, Kelly says. “If we see [the retrograde] less as an inconvenience and more of this really important moment in time to catch our breath, I think that it's easier to work with it,” she says.
This is why, ultimately, Kelly says Mercury retrograde can be a “nice organic reminder” to get organized and slow down. “We need to make sure that we are going with the flow of these natural cycles while understanding the fact that we are complete and full agents of our own experience,” she says. This seems like sage advice, TBH—no matter how the planets appear to be moving.
